Honestly! I don’t think a lot of people care about privacy.

Honestly if you’re using Lemmy all this information is already publicly accessible, any public forum isnt privacy friendly

I’m not talking about the public stuff, because That’s not where the money is for Meta. Here is the stuff the Thread app collects

Now juxtapose that with what the Lemmy app collects.

Sorry misunderstood your comment, yeah Threads/Meta is god awful for collecting data wouldn’t want to touch them personally

What's surprising to me is that the android version of threads has no such requirements. It asks for contacts, camera, location, photos, notification, and mic permissions, and you don't need to enable them to use the app

Oh, it’s worse than that even. Tap on that block and see the whole list. There are like ~170 separate data points listed, it’s insane. They’re saving everything!
